Strong perfume scent
Very strong perfume smell. Unable to use due to this as it makes me sick. Item needs to be formulated without perfume.

Fragrance
First impression, lots of fragrance. So far it’s a nice serum but I probably will not purchase again due to the fragrance and price point.

Trying to return
I previously used the Clinique vitamin c and am kicking myself for trying something cheaper. I have clear skin and this immediately caused breakouts for me.

Been using for years, it's great
I have been using this vitamin C serum for years. The bottle lasts, I've never had any reactions to it, and it doesn't pill under face cream/foundation.

Really great
If you're looking for an effective, gentle, yet potent Vitamin C serum from a reliable brand, the La Roche-Posay Pure Vitamin C12 Serum is an excellent investment. It delivers on its promise of radiance and anti-oxidant protection without irritating my skin.

long-lasting and effective
A little goes a long way! I use it not only on my face, but sun damage on my forearms, where I noted visible improvement in just a few weeks.

La Roche-Posay Vitamin C12 Serum – My Honest Revie
I’ve been using the La Roche-Posay Vitamin C12 Serum, and I’m genuinely impressed with how quickly it made my skin look brighter and smoother. The 12% pure vitamin C gives an instant glow, and I love that the formula feels lightweight and absorbs fast without leaving any sticky residue. It layers well under moisturizer and makeup, which is a huge plus for me, no irritation so far and value for money.

Works great for me!
Absolutely love everything about this serum. Idk why people are complaining about the applicator. Just squeeze and it sucks up the exact amount you use on your entire face and neck. I find it very helpful. The texture is smooth and goes on like velvet and not at all sticky or greasy feeling, I’ve tried so many vitamin C serums and I came back to this one because I haven’t seen any good results while using any other kind. I’m 51 so you better believe I’ve tried my fair share of good and bad skin care products and for the price point this is the best by far. I’m blonde light skin with some freckles for reference.

Not for Sensitive Skin Type‼️
Bought this cuz I thought it was gentle/ fragrance-free BUT IT'S NOT. The serum smells strongly of chemicals/perfume. My cheek started to have a reaction that made it feel itchy/ turn red. For the price, totally not worth it wish I could return this, I only used it once.

Oxidized very very quickly and very hard to dispense. Too expensive to have these issues

Turns my skin orange
Unfortunately, this serum turns my skin orange, especially along my hairline. It’s very noticeable and I haven’t figured out a way to prevent it. Otherwise, it feels great and I was hopeful since the other La Roche-Posay products I’ve tried have been great.

My face peeled like a chameleon after this serum
I got a free sample of this serum, it felt super smooth at first, but then my whole face and neck started peeling like I was a chameleon!

Not worth it.
I tried the vitamin c serum and I found it to have a lot of unnecessary ingredients. There’s no reason for my skincare to have parfum in it. It felt okay-ish on my face but there was a slight stinging sensation. When I went to apply my make up over my dried face, the serum residue was flaky. I much prefer the Ordinary brand for vitamin c.

Makes my skin glow! I have sensitive skin and usually can not use products with fragrance on my face, this is not a strong fragrance and does not turn my skin red. Love this serum! Well worth the price.

My face turned an orangish tint using this product.
